why wasn't it scrapped? it's not like all that steel is irradiated.
Probably not economical to do that... Parts that could be sold, like 2/3 of the turbines, apparently were!
As for the parts of the steel that do get irradiated, anybody interested in seeing a flame cutter going to town to Blue Oyster Cult? I think so...

I'd love to see some videos of robotic diamond wire cutters on the biological shield concrete, but haven't found any of those.
Edit: found one! From Sweden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc5jdvc1yD8
